 Made a custom bike for Scout Trooper Ted Lasso based on a speed build video someone posted. Now to find a sack piece to put the child in...

Nice. that's probably the best take on a speeder bike I have seen. Should be brown though. What did you use to get his leg positioning like that?

Oxyclean posted:I can kinda relate to the burnout? I've been going a bit ham with the purchasing this year and I try to mostly save building for when I have the itch, but on some level I worry I'm just doing it to have something to do? Iunno. It can be nice as just something to keep me busy while I watch something. It's just a nice process that's engaging, but doesn't take the same kind of energy some of my other hobbies do? Clear plastic cocktail cups—buy a sleeve or two next time you’re out at the grocery store, and use those to knoll the bricks. Plates, tiles, bricks, technics, slopes, and subsort based on quantity. Takes a little bit upfront, but saves so much time and headache throughout the build. A couple of clear plastic shoebins are also handy for miscellaneous parts or big pieces.

They're white in The Mandalorian for some reason At the bottom of the main body in front of the driver is a 1x1 plate with clip, then that clips to a 2x1 plate with handle upside down, then on the inverted studs side of that plate you put a inverted 2x1 bracket, and the leg backs stick onto the studs side of that. Then on the other side of the bracket attach a 2x1 with clips, and that clips onto a pneumatic T you build the rest of the rear off of.

Nice. Finished the main build of the Cantina. Still have to do the side buildings which are a surprisingly large amount of parts. This set is definetly one of the best SW sets they have ever made. It hits every note a set like this should. Everything is built with a very "UCS" eye for detail. Lots of extra complexity added to stuff that's appeared in the smaller cantina sets making it stand out next to those regardless of size (and it is big, bigger than it felt before all of the parts went together) mostly studless finish etc. but it also works extremely well as both a playset and a display piece. Even with the roof on you get a nice clear look at all of the interior detail. Everything is extremely modular (which is great because it's very wide. I think moreso than my shelf is deep.) It flips open and every roof part comes off to turn it into a full playset, which would also work very well as an interior display if that was the direction you wanted to go. All of the exterior builds are also meant to be rearranged. it's very versatile. So far I give it a 10/10 except for the hole it burned in my wallet. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 06:25 on Sep 18, 2020 |

Based on your experience building it, how feasible would it be to modify one of the long walls (the opposite side to Han and Greedo, ie the primary camera pov) to be more of a cut out? I personally rather 3 wall display buildings to something you have to open up to see inside, so I'm a little on the fence about this one.

There were inflated saturn v prices? Aside from the initial launch, it was always either 120 or 100 dollars. I hope this saturn v relaunch gets lego to make a CSM for the LM already. There are only so many 50 year anniversaries left.

Maybe include pieces that will also hold up the LM. I don't really care what they do. I just want a CSM next to my LM.

Fair enough, I’d love if they could figure out how to make them work together but I guess since the LM wasn’t designed with it in mind, eh. Wouldn’t be hard to change to top of the LM though.

The top of the LM is a round plate with an axle hole. It could be modified to have an axle that goes between them, but I doubt there is any way to have the whole thing be sturdy enough. It would be more fragile than the Saturn V.

I personally rather 3 wall display buildings to something you have to open up to see inside, so I'm a little on the fence about this one. I’d say fairly easy but also unnecessary. Between the main roof being a removable frame and all of the smaller roof parts being removable, the interior is very accessible/viewable. But if you wanted to go that route it would not be hard. You’d just have to not build the walls and keep the support beams and connections to other builds in tact. Carbohydrates posted:I've really come to like it more now that I've seen a couple in-depth reviews. I know it was designed to hit a certain price point and a lot of the extra stuff (Jawa shop and house, vaporators, speeders) was added to bump it up to $350, but all that extra stuff is really good. The whole thing looks impressive and DOES feel (to me, anyway) more or less worth it, despite the Star Wars tax. I certainly like it more than Cloud City, the only other Master Builder set so far and therefore the only reasonable frame of reference. Yeah. On one hand they could have probably knocked $100+ off they didn't include all of the side builds. On the other hand they all seem appropriate and are also extremely good, which make it feel more like a proper scene and not just a building. The landspeeders are really well done, The big moisture vaporizer is low key one of my favorite parts of the set, and the Jawa shop area (although I haven't built it yet) is actually a substantial, nicely designed building of it's own. One of my favorite parts of the set is blocked by most of the pictures. The rear side has a little terrain area like the Dewback feeding pen, except it's full of nicely built bits of space junk and storage. I will be swapping it out for the dewback pen to display in front because I think it has more personality and makes the flat side of the building more interesting. I think one of the biggest things that elevates it over Cloud City is that ME cantina is something that is actually doable at that scale. Cloud City went in the Death Star direction of just conceptualizing some scenes into a space that roughly resembles the in movie area, and the result was a pretty good playset, but a bad display that is unwieldy to even get on a shelf. ME is able to cover all of it's bases better. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Sep 18, 2020 |

CSM seems like it's right in the middle of not big enough to be interesting/fun on it's own, but not small enough for abstracting, and if you build it to scale with S5 or the lander which are interesting on their own you get a fragile mess.

There's plenty of cool stuff you can do with the CSM. A foldable antenna. A big rear end rocket engine bell. Removable panels that reveal the fuel cells. An interior for the command module. All kinds of cool stuff.

The idea I always dreamed it: split straight down the middle, one side opens to the scale of something like the hellicarrier and they other a couple minifig scale scenes. Then you could display from either side, and maintain being a play set.

I forgot I impulse bought the Bespin planet set on Ebay the other day new, for 8 bux shipped. The one with Lobot and a mini cloud car. The seller included a brand new TLM CMF just for the heck of it. I wish more Ebay sellers were like that.

If it was just some extra pieces inside the set, yeah, that's really typical. Almost every set has some spares of the extra small bits.

GWP have had a similar effect for me. When I order a single big set, I'm a little sad not to have a little thing to put together first. Doesn't help I was been really spoiled by getting a few really nice GWP in a row (Batmobile, Christmas Tree and the 40th anniversary train) that getting smaller polybag stuff for the next few GWP was a bit underwhelming.

If I have one bad thing to say about the Cantina is that it's not a great shelf display. It looked so amazing on my dinner table after it was done, and now I'm trying to merge it onto my shelf and its' kind of hard to make it look like much more than a double long version of the old, small set. You'd really want to put it on a dresser or something where you can see the whole thing from the top.
